Everyone has heard like attracts like, but what if you are attracting things you don’t want?

“Be Kinder To Yourself, Be Kinder To Others, That’s The Whole Point”

The idea that being kinder to yourself and kinder to others is the whole point took me by surprise. It was said to me by a Buddhist friend at a party*, not the kind of conversations you often have. It made me think. As many of us are absorbing the shock and fear of rapidly […]

It’s All About the People – You Get To Choose

You get to choose the people you are around. It can be a game changer to fully appreciate that the people you select to be around can determine your quality of life. Let that idea sink in. We took a vacation with a group of 11 people for a destiny birthday celebration. It could have […]
